Innovation
for a safer and more secure world_
We have been pioneers and leaders for over 30 years in innovation and development in hydroacoustics and multi-influence. We are internationally recognised in dual-use technology, in both the defence sector and the civil market, for the protection of critical infrastructures and environmental applications. We supply products and systems based on underwater electronics that acquire acoustic, electric, magnetic, seismic, and pressure signals, using the underwater medium for their propagation.
_innovating
The future is a collective challenge which, as the scientific community, we feel a part of, and in which nothing is more vocational than providing tailor-made solutions. A place where INNOVATING is the action, the attitude and the motivation which covers everything.
_developing
Because as creators, there is no greater satisfaction than giving shape to projects. At SAES, we work closely with our partners and customers under the strictest parameters of demand and quality control to DEVELOP a range of products with maximum performance and highly competitive to be at the forefront in the field of underwater safety.
_protecting
We are fortunate to know that our work contributes to a common gain as a society and as a country. We are convinced that security is a cornerstone in the collective challenge of guaranteeing and PROTECTING common values and a state of wellbeing that involves us all. At SAES, we are proud to contribute our dedication, which serves as a daily reminder to what drives us to do what we do.
